5 things AMISH

#5 The Amish believe that if you take their pictures it steals their souls (hope I didn't steal any souls this weekend...lol)

#4 If an Amish Man is married he has a beard. If he is single he does not but often men get married early so you rarely see an Amish man without a beard.

#3 Amish live very simply. Most don't have electricity unless it is run on a generator. They don't use city power. You can tell an Amish house because they don't use curtains so the windows are bare and see through.

#2 The Amish make the Best Food. Their Jerky and Cheese is to die for!


#1 I look pretty cute as an Amish :)



Pictures of my trip up soon!

  1. There's a movie called For Richer or Poorer from the mid-90s that's set in an Amish community...it's still in pretty heavy rotation in our house bc it cracks me up!

  2. I saw Amish in my feedreader, and had to click through. I grew up near Shipshewana, and my parents still live there.

  4. We just visited a little town where Amish live in the surrounding area (Arthur, Illinois). An Amish lady stopped and spoke with us at a stop sign. She was in her horse-drawn buggy with her four children. That was really neat. :)
    I'm also an unemployeed elementary school teacher looking for work, but there are so many teachers looking for jobs nowadays so that makes it really hard!

  7. I took a vacation in Amish country a while back and fell in love with their gorgeous handmade quilts. Couldn't afford one, but man, would they look good on my bed. :)

  8. I think the Amish are fascinating. There is another blog I read and the woman who writes it is obsessed with the Amish. I love how they live simply and I've read that they don't get their children vaccinated, which I think is the best way to go. I wonder why they don't use curtains on their windows? That is puzzling!
